A man who terrorised his partner and their three children at knifepoint has been jailed for 18 months.
Scott Higgins, 32, had forced Andrea Kenny to flee for her life after he threatened to stab her with a kitchen knife before mounting a violent assault on the home she had been temporarily sharing with her mother, the court heard.
During the attack in Wigan, Greater Manchester, Higgins smashed windows at the property before climbing in and kicking a bedroom door off its hinges as Kenny and her young children hid inside.
The attack only stopped after she managed to run past him and hide in a neighbouring garden. No one was injured.
New laws affect boat storage, abandoned vehicles (Reporter file photo)
As work gets underway with building more boat racks, the Town Board Friday unanimously passed a law regulating boat storage on town property.
The motivation for the new law was a combination of circumstances, including safety, overcrowding of boats at some sites and an effort to increase revenues, Supervisor Gerry Siller said.
During a public hearing on the law, he responded to questions from Peter Beardsley, a member of the Menantic Yacht Club, who expressed concerns about access, costs and reasons for the new law that he feared might interfere with the club’s regular races. Mr. Beardsley also said he didn’t want to see a limit put on how many boats a household might be able to store on the beach.
